TPMA has approved this activity for a maximum of 25 continuing education contact hours. The 2020 TPMA Southwest Foot and Ankle Conference is intended for licensed podiatric physicians and their assistants to develop and improve the podiatric knowledge and competency to better serve the citizens of Texas and the surrounding states. Throughout the program, the above-mentioned target participants will learn about various foot and ankle pathologies and their evidence-based treatment option via lectures, case discussion, hands-on workshop, poster and manuscript presentation formats. Safety, efficacy, cost effectiveness and quality improvements of multiple aspects of clinical podiatric management will be discussed.
